Jim Prola Files to Run For District 6 Council Seat

District 6 City Councilmember Jim Prola filed his Candidate Intention Statement on November 15, 2007, with the San Leandro City Clerk. Last month, Hermy Almonte filed his Candidate Intention Statement to run for District 6 City Council. Filing of the Candidate Intention Statement is required before raising or spending any money for an election.

Prola was appointed to the City Council in February 2007 after Tony Santos was elected as Mayor of San Leandro in November 2006. Prola was selected from a field of 12 applicants, half of whom were interviewed for the position. Prola's application can be seen here.

Election day is June 8, 2008, just seven and a half months away. Expect more of these filings in the upcoming months.
